Rebuilding 2005 RX8
Just bought a not running RX8. The radiator cracked and lost all coolant, overheated and the owner wanted to sell. I gave him the cash on Monday and started pulling it apart immediately. I signed up here for assistance in rebuilding the motor, which I already have out of the car and down to the shortblock. I would really like to start a tech thread but I assume its a post limit that is stopping me from doing so. Anyway heres the car as I purchased it.
And here it is with the spare rims from my RX7. Much better IMO, and wider. I may need to roll the rear fenders.
Dropped the Subframe with the engine/trans
The shortblock
Im having trouble getting the flywheel off, I removed the nut but am having a hard time actually getting it off. I've sprayed with oil penetrant and will try in a few hours.
Im here mostly for advice on the rebuild. The car is intended as a fun daily. Thanks for looking!
